Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This work is packed with over 1100 photographs, artworks, diagrams and illustrations, all in colour, specially commissioned to teach essential first-aid techniques and to show symptoms clearly for diagnosis. It shows how to cope and care in an emergency - from splints, simple bandages and slings to resuscitation and life-saving technique, all shown step-by-step, and tackles the health issues that will affect your family all the way through their lives. The first half of the book is packed with a wide range of information on every aspect of first aid and life saving, with special sections on babies and toddlers; outdoor safety and travel; and accident prevention and planning a safe secure home environment. Informative flow charts, symptom lists and warning boxes are featured throughout, and useful background information explains simply how to stay healthy and prevent accidents before they happen. In the second half of the book hundreds of medical conditions are examined, discussed, analysed and diagnosed. Practical, sensible and jargon-free advice is given on every type of illness, from annoying everyday complaints such as coughs, colds, headaches and fatigue, through to serious conditions including strokes, kidney stones and Parkinson's Disease.
